There is very limited scientific data concerning suspension training. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the electromyographic activity of the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and triceps brachii between a suspension push-up and traditional push-up. Twenty-one apparently healthy men (n = 15, age = 25.93 ± 3.67 years) and women (n = 6, age = 23.5 ± 1.97 years) volunteered to par...

A K-Band Push-Push VCO MMIC which has small size, high output power and low phase noise is presented. This push-push VCO utilize the embedded frequency doubling mechanism of cross coupled topology. A commercial InGaP/GaAs HBT technology with the f T of 60 GHz and the fMAX of 110 GHz was used for the implementation. The oscillation frequency is from 21.02 GHz to 21.17 GHz. The peak output power ...

We present methods for extracting a fast indicator for push-recovery strategy selection from the data of an inertial measurement unit mounted on a human or humanoid torso. The methods serve the purposes of detecting the beginning, the direction and intensity of the push as well as predicting the feasible recovery strategy. We test our methods on a dataset of 78 push-recovery trials collected wi...

A coupled oscillator array using push-push oscillators and resonator type coupling circuits is presented. In the proposed oscillator array, the coupling circuit operates at the fundamental frequency and the output signal is the 2nd harmonics. The adjacent oscillators are connected via the coupling circuits. The coupling circuit is used to synchronize the oscillators and control the phase differ...

this paper analyses and compares the performances of business-to-business e-commerce data quality and service quality among the use of the ‘push’ and ‘pull’ models. rosettanet’s original partner interface processes use the ‘push’ model which suffers from data redundancy when the volume of business-to-business transaction increases. however, when the ‘pull’ model is used, although it reduces dat...

This paper investigates the pricing and production game in a decentralized assembly system that consists of one assembler and two independent suppliers. One supplier is able to exert the push contract on the assembler so as to transfer all his inventory risk, while the other supplier has to accept the pull contract from the assembler and consequently bears the overstock risk. Under this hybrid ...

Push-ups are a common and practical exercise that is used to enhance fitness, including upper body strength or endurance. The kinetic characteristics of push-ups and its variations are yet to be quantified. Kinetic quantification is necessary to accurately evaluate the training load, and thus the nature of the training stimulus, for these exercise variations. This study assessed the peak vertic...

With the growing numbers of status update websites and related wrappers, initiatives modelling sensor data in RDF, as well as the dynamic nature of many Linked Data exporters, there is a need for protocols enabling real-time notification and broadcasting of RDF data updates. In this paper we present a flexible approach that provides such notifications to be delivered in real-time to any RSS or ...

BACKGROUND Proper alignment of the scapula during upper extremity motion is important in maintaining shoulder joint function and health. Push-up plus exercise is considered as one of the best exercise to strengthen the muscles that stabilize the scapula. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of push-up plus variants and elbow position on vertical ground reaction force and electromy...
